About this app
You know that feeling when you hear a live drum and your hands start tapping along on their own? SunDrums turns it into a skill. These are drum lessons for complete beginners: no sheet music, no music school and no worrying that you have no sense of rhythm.
Put your phone down in front of you, open the first lesson — and a few minutes later you are already keeping the beat.
One skill, many drums
Djembe, cajon, darbuka, conga and bongo all sound different, but you play them the same way: with your hands, on the beat, steadily. That foundation is exactly what SunDrums teaches. Master it here, and any hand drum you pick up will no longer be a mystery.
Three strokes behind everything
The secret of percussion is where your hand lands:
• bass — palm in the centre, deep and low;
• tone — fingers near the rim, soft and singing;
• slap — right on the edge, sharp and ringing.
The app shows these zones on the drum itself, so you can see right away where each sound comes from.
Every phone has a small audio delay, and most rhythm trainers ignore it. SunDrums adapts to your device in about thirty seconds: play four strokes along with the metronome, and from then on the app knows exactly whether you hit the beat or not.
A step-by-step program takes you from simple to challenging: steady beats first, then real rhythms, with each difficulty level a little more exciting. The metronome keeps time through the whole lesson, and the app tells you which hand to strike with — left or right. Just play and hear yourself get better each time.
100+ rhythms
Want to play beyond the program? Open a library of more than 100 rhythms, pick the one you like and learn it at your own pace. It's a real self-study drum tutor that is always at hand.
Who it is for
Adults and teens who have always wanted to learn to play drums but never knew where to start. You don't need your own instrument: start right on your phone screen, and when you get a real drum, your hands will already know what to do.
Your first rhythm is a couple of minutes away. Ready to play?
